It is interesting how writing can be easy when it is not your dissertation you are writing. My deadline is in 2 weeks and I still have half way to go. But it is so much nicer to talk about my problems than actually deal with them.
While I was writing first half of my dissertation I had this awesome system, which allowed me to watch one episode of Friends and then write for 45 minutes. It worked great. I finished around 4000 words in like 5 days. Now I have started watching Charmed, but I’m afraid it is not going to work as well as before…
Not to mention I have other things on my mind that I prefer focusing on, rather than researching queer theory and gender performativity in faux queens. Not that those are not interesting! I love my dissertation. Faux queens are intriguing and rare, the topic I have chosen is incredibly interesting and feministic, and I get a chance to research clothes and make up. Perfect for me!
And I might be more into it if it weren’t for my work and two knitting projects that I am currently involved in.
I recently bought Knit Now and found this cutest pattern for a cowl, which I am now teaching myself how to make so that I can give it as a gift to one of my housemates. Lucky me she likes knitting stuff that I make and always asks me to knit her a gift for her birthday or Christmas. That way I don’t spend much money, I get to try out new pattern and she gets what she wants. Win win.
At the same time, I am working on the new project for my shop Call It a Fairytale. AND making plans for a photoshoot for one of the things I have already made. Which means I will soon have at least one more thing to present on my page. Woohoo! I know I am being so slow with making this shop more presentable, but I guess I just want everything to be perfect and I am knitting mostly because it relaxes me and it makes me happy. Fulfilling my dreams by opening a shop like I always wanted to, is just a bonus. Hopefully one day it will be as good as I imagined it to be. Until then, I am quite happy with what I made it to be so far.
Also, I am so thinking of taking up crocheting as well! While I was looking thorough different books with knitting patterns, I have found the most amazing one with the most beautiful crochet patterns. I can’t afford it at the moment, but my next month’s pay is so going to be spent on it! And I will need to learn how to do that as well, but it is going to be so worth it. I used to know how to do it, though it has been years since then. My grandmother was the one who thought me how to crochet. I think I was actually 6 or 7 at that time. And around that time was probably the last time I have done it as well… Funny how some things, that you almost forgot you ever knew, come to affect your life so many years later.
So now that I am done putting my current life affairs on the virtual paper, I might be ready to read some Feminist Perspectives on Trans Issues.
Or maybe watch just one more episode of Charmed?…
Go! Go! And go write that dissertation! Once and for all! :))
